Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been used for environmental mapping and surveys of various kinds for some time. More recently, the AUVs have entered the domain of the remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to tackle ...

Location-based recommender systems in the tourist domain are increasingly becoming more and morepopular. However, these systems typically suffer from two problems: Not having sufficient information aboutthe user results ...

This paper proposes a docking maneuver for an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to dock into a funnel shaped docking station. The novelty of the proposed approach is enabling an underactuated AUV that is ...

This paper will, through a theoretical discussion of efficiency and effectiveness, present a model for a recovery system. The plastic packaging recovery system in Norway is described, and despite the lack of empirical data, ...

In this paper we have applied the interactive product development approach in combination with the life cycle system approach and put up a framework to evaluate and understand eco-efficiency development of production- and ...

Thruster-assisted position mooring (TAPM) is an energy-efficient and reliable stationkeeping method for deep water structures. Mooring line breakage can significantly
influence the control system, and ultimately reduce ...

This paper presents a novel idea on a tension-based localization approach as a redundancy measure to handle the situation when the position reference (posref) signals are not available or significant GNSS drifts occur, ...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is to a wide extent applied to evaluate the environmental performance of recycling. However, LCA is not sufficient as stand-alone tool for decision-making regarding recycling since decisive ...
